[QUOTE="EyeEatWheaties, post: 1094188, member: 26972"]I didn't read the thread, only the OP and the 1st few replies. you paid approx .60 each for US coins in labeled 2x2 mylars? Subtract the face value of the coins from the purchase amount. then subtract about $4 each for the boxes holding the 2x2 Then subtract 5 cents for each 2x2 then subtract another 50 cents for staples? Take the amount left over and divide by 2 (the hours it would take to put that many coins together. Take that number and decide if you would work at that hourly rate. I am inclined to tell you to swallow your pride and move on or relist the coins in a Buy it now for what you paid. If you decide to do neither then chalk up this experience and cost as part of your tuition fees in learning what and what not to buy. I have bought lots like that before, and when I sat down and really figured out what all was in the "junk" I had bought. I figured it really wasn't that bad of a deal. I don't think this was a scam, I think this was a seller who knows that people will buy those kind of lots and do all the time as evidenced by his feedback.[/QUOTE]
